...every man who goes will have to be vaccinated against typhoid fever, for records prove that there will be twice or three times as many who will be ill or die of typhoid fever as will be killed or wounded by bullets. Then there will be long marches over rough ground, and the necessity of protecting the soldier's feet. Every man who goes into the army must take good care of himself, as if he were in training. A soldier is bound in honor to keep himself in good condition, for a sick man requires two additional...
...middle classes," who hold off from the first group partly from disapproval and partly from disapproval and partly from inability to break social barriers; and the third, a group far greater than is generally realized, consists of those who have, by dint of extraordinary grit and determination, worked their rough-hewn way to learning.

In a few days the candidates will be divided into first and second squads...
...Business School or the Economics Department shall organize a definite "course" in managership, wherein not only the practice but the principles of business dealing, accounting, correspondence, and the other incidents to the heavy managerial work of a Harvard major-sport can be systematically treated. For this the present rough-and-ready duties of the position might very properly be considered laboratory work. Such a course, however, would of itself presuppose an upset of the entire scheme of unhampered undergraduate competition. At least until a much more definite outline of the proposed change is presented, we do not believe that...
